Relax Scotty, and don't let your wishful thinking get the better of you. After action reports are often jumbled. As far as narratives go, this one is very, very positive for Obama, although I don't think the glow will last until election time (and probably not even close).

Not really wishful thinking, just anticipating the frothy bullshit foaming and whipping up from the Right if they ever find someone that could possibly put a dent in the oncoming train of four more years.

Can't dismiss the rest just over the technical disgreement....

Funny, I read the blog before I read Em's comment and I choked on the same line. The guy is good wordsmith and you can't argue with his main point. But conflicts are like that, and human nature sets limits on how many times you can turn your cheek. Remember the old antiwar shibboleth, "What if they held a war and no one came?". Well, unfortunately, someone will always come, and they won't stop coming until you make a stand.

Let's applaud the administrations timing of the announcement, said announcement not only bumped Trump but left the partisian wags (from both sides) practically zero time to spin this thing. We all were allowed to enjoy a full day of "Congrats" before the spins got going.
